Wilson, 17 all of Dorchester and charged them with Assault with Intent to Rob, and Breaking and Entering in the Night.
Officers were on patrol in the Savin Hill area of Dorchester when they observed the suspects running toward Dorchester Avenue. At about the same time, officers observed a distraught individual standing on a porch on Savin St. clutching his face. Officers asked the individual standing on the porch if he was alright and he responded stating, “No!” Officers feeling that the fleeing suspects may have something to do with the distraught individual decided to further investigate the fleeing suspects and stopped them on Dorchester Avenue and Savin Hill Avenue.
Officers then returned to the location of the distraught male and spoke to him. The male reported to officers that he was walking home from the Savin Hill T station when he noticed the three suspects following him. The victim further stated hat he made it home and was about to close his front door when he heard someone say, “Yo Yo!” The victim, thinking it was a friend, slightly opened the front door to the building when he noticed the same three suspects that had been followed him from the T station on his porch. The victim attempted to shut the door but was overpowered by the suspects who forced their way into the building. The victim reported that the suspects upon forcing their way into the building started punching him and knocked him to the ground. The victim reported that one of the three suspects held him while the others repeatedly assaulted him and went though his pockets. During the assault, the victim’s brother heard the commotion in the hallway, and came out and observed the suspects assaulting his brother. The male suspects then fled when they noticed that someone had come out of an apartment.
The suspects were detained pending identification by the victim and witness. The victim and his brother both individually identified the three suspects who then arrested and charged accordingly.
